RAILROAD NOTES

From the scrapings Of the Snow Plows.
Two number ones are tied up at
Mandan and great prospects for n
third the Dakota billiards still wave.
The first freight train from the east
since the night of the 3lst ult. came in
last night, drawn by two locomotives,
creaking and groaning over the weight
OF ten loaded cars. Among the freight
was a car load of mules, which ap-
peared to stand the cold without
dropping their ears, and were NJ VII
cious and wicked looking M though
treading their native heath in the
full glow OF health aud spring pasture.
They are the property OF west bound
enigrsnts. This freight train WAS
running as extra, being the No. l3
which died at Terry, and was In
charge Of Tom Cullen. Just ahead
was a snow plow, which by the ef-
forts Of two engines opened the way
for the extra freight, four or five Of
Its load being attached to the pillow
train.
Train men consider quarter loads
pretty heavy under present wheeling
and no one disputes their assertions.
Some local freight was unloaded for
Miles last night, though not any
great amount.
At last reports the east bound train
which was due here Tuesday, was tied
up at Garrison, Montana, and there
are small prospects for any mails from
either direction before tomorrow.
The accident which occurred to
the west bound train fiat Park
City on Tuesday was remarkable from
the fact that no person was seriously
injured, although the danger was i'm
miDent. When the broken rail was
struck the smoker. -migrant car, bag.
gage and express cars jumped the
track and breaking loose rolled down
the embankment into the Yellowstone
river. Each car had a roaring fire In
the several stoves, and there were a
number of passengers and train men
in each Of the cars. but the injuries
received were mere scratches and not
a single car caught fire from the over
turning OF the heating stoves Or any
other cause. The Northern Pacific
has been extremely cut Of luck in the
number Of accidents Of recent occur.

the consequences have been In every
